Sunday Reset with Coach Shay

Rest & reset your week with ICA!

Start your week with reconnection and renewal at this month's Sunday Reset. Led by Sound practitioner & yoga instructor Coach Shay, this session invites participants to unplug and connect with their senses through a combined meditative yoga and sound bath experience. Taking inspiration from our current exhibition, Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses, this offering considers how meditative practices can provide a sense of relief and retreat from our hyper-connected and hypervigilant culture, allowing connection between humanity and the natural world and departing from habits that cause waste and destruction to our spiritual, mental, physical and energetic selves.

Whether you seek meditative calm, a source of artistic inspiration, or a creative outlet, this one is for you! This experience is suitable for all and does not require any prior yoga experience. Guests should be dressed comfortably and bring a light blanket and socks. All additional supplies will be provided.

This program is part of our monthly series, Sunday Reset, which features Philadelphia area practitioners working at the juncture of art and wellness.

Coach Shay is a fierce self-care/mental health advocate who educates and inspires others on best practices for living an easeful, more balanced life. After years of working in high-demand corporate roles, being deprived of rest and experiencing burnout, she found healing and restoration in practicing yoga and mindfulness. Her journey ignited a passion to help others and in addition to teaching yoga, she uses her gifts as a sound practitioner and holistic health coach as tools to help others destress and connect with their bodies and breath to find deep rest and healing. Her desire is to help all beings discover balance and vitality, and as the founder of Inner Sanctuary Wellness, she mindfully curates experiences and services that allow rest and inner reflection, and offer rejuvenation for the mind, body and soul.

is the first in-depth survey of Carl Cheng’s prescient, genre-defying work from the 1960s to the present that will transform both floors of the ICA. Cheng began his career in the experimental context of the Southern California art scene and the post-war aerospace industry, resulting in artworks that operate at the intersection of identity, technology, and ecology. Over the last six decades he has worked in a variety of media to reflect on environmental change, the relevance of art institutions to their publics, and the role of technology in society. Because the majority of Cheng’s oeuvre is still in his possession, the exhibition will be an exciting and rare opportunity to animate the arc of his career through a presentation of artworks that are multidisciplinary, ephemeral, material, process-based, and interactive. The exhibition will also be presented at The Contemporary Austin – Jones Center (September – December 2024), Bonnefanten (May – September 2025), and Museum Tinguely (December 2025 – May 2026).

ICA is committed to creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. For more notes on accessibility including accessible parking nearby visit our Accessibility landing page.
